Will not close while tape is in ejecter,alarm beeps and screen says (remove cassete), but will however close without tape???
canon mv830i digital camcorder...

Answers :

Several things could be happening...the tape is backwards, upside down, inverted or just wrong type since it closes without it. Next check to see on the inside if something is jamming the tape. While it closes without a tape there could be something that jams when a tape is inserted.

I'm a new user of the D90 (and digital in general), and on my first major trip with it I had problem with the shutter not working. I would take some images, put the camera down without turning it off and move on to the next spot. At the second stop the camera would not work. I'd turn it off, remove the battery, run the lens in and out and eventually it would work again. The message I got was F--, which said that the lens was not installed properly. However the lens was never removed. What's

My JVC digital camcorder GR-DF420 says unit in safeguard mode remove and re-attach battery. I have done this then it says error message consult JVC dealer. However when I took it back to shop they couldn't help. Can you advise
Thanks

Lens error When I first power on my camera, it tells me to retry power on. When I do, it says lens error and shuts down. The lens will extend and then close before the power shuts off, however it does not close fully. The protective shutter on the lens doesn't close completely. I have tried removing the battery and letting the camera sit for awhile hoping that the camera will reset, however this has been of no help.

Seems to have been a random fault. Now OK, but for how long? This camcorder has given nothing but trouble. Any further nonesense and it will be destroyed. ...

Bought a digital camera two weeks ago, FE3000 Olympus. Cant take a picture without horizontal lines appearing on my LCD.only 20% of the pictures I take are without these lines. When I use the video, its is perfect. Still images however are difficult to appreciate. I bought camera for daughter because I thought it was a point and shoot camera. Even in iauto mode I seldom get a perfect shot. What is wrong???????Please help me. I am willing to pay 9.95 if you can help me fix my camera. Again its an

I have a digital camera type HP945 which has lately given me trouble.
Recentlyy, it was stored away for short period whilst it was not in use. Unfortunately, the four AA batteries were left in it during this time.
As a consequence, corrosion of the batteries occurred.
I have done my best to clean the terminals in the camera and I have replaced the batteries.
However, when I now close the battery compartment, I am confronted with the red timer light coming on either at flashing intervals or c

I have a digital frame but I do not have the remote control. How do I set it up without the remote. The screen appears black, I can however (barely) make out that my pics do seem to be uploading. I also see what appear to be bars but it is too dark to make out what they indicate or what or how to select using only the buttons on the frames itself. Help?

There are many types of these frames and they all differ.Are there not manual controls on the back or side of the device?However- the fact the you can see dim images - suggestd the backlight has failed. ...

It seems like your carriage unit needs servicing.. basically the gears that load the tape and move the tape wheels have become worn.. You can attempt to repair this your self at the risk of rendering it useless. YOu can call a service center and let ...

Can anyone help me, or can you tell me what's wrong with it???

Check the contacts and clean them if necessary. If that does not help, try a different BRAND of batteries and see if the issue persists. If it does, it could be a problem with the power board, which calls for servicing.. ...
